CVE-2017-5689 Scanner Detail

Intel Active Management Technology (AMT), Intel Small Business Technology (SBT), and Intel Standard Manageability (ISM) are system management features provided by Intel. These features allow IT professionals to remotely manage and monitor devices, providing a range of functionalities such as security, remote control, and inventory management. These features are widely used in business environments to ensure that devices are fully secured and maintained, alongside reducing the company's IT management costs.

CVE-2017-5689 is a vulnerability in these manageability features, allowing unprivileged users to gain system privileges to provisioned Intel management SKUs. Specifically, an unprivileged network attacker can cause system privilege escalation on AMT and ISM. Meanwhile, an unprivileged local attacker could provision manageability features, leading to the gain of network or local system privileges on AMT, ISM, and SBT.

This vulnerability can lead to cybercriminals accessing sensitive data, destroying data, or even obtaining control over the entire network. It could also lead to unauthorized access from a third party, impacting personal or organization information, and potentially causing significant financial damage. Attackers could use the vulnerability to access the data stored on the device, infect it with malware, or use it to launch further attacks within the organization.
